When will Rory McIlroy tee off on Saturday at the 2024 Valero Texas Open? Tee time and pairing explored

Rory McIlroy ended day 2 of the 2024 Valero Texas Open at solo-fifth. The Northern Irishman carded a 70 on Friday. The 34-year-old golfer shot three birdies and a bogey to move to five under par and managed to finish six shots behind leader Akshay Bhatia.

Notably, Russell Henley (69), Denny McCarthy (70), and Brendon Todd (72) tied for second and sat above McIlroy. However, the four-time major winner stated that he was “pleased” with his second-round performance in San Antonio.

McIlroy will resume his Texas Open outing on Saturday at 12:25 pm. The ace golfer will take his first tee of round 3 alongside Denny McCarthy and Tommy Fleetwood.

Commenting on his game after Texas Open round 2, Rory McIlroy was quoted as saying by PGA Tour:

"I've only made one bogey over two days, which I'm really pleased with. Would have been nice to make a few more birdies, but pretty happy with the last two days."

The Valero Texas Open underwent the 36-hole cut on Friday, which slashed the field down to 82. Notably, McIlroy now has 81 competitors to best to register a big result on Sunday.

Having struggled most of the season’s start, it’ll be interesting to see if the Irishman wins the $9,200,000 prize event.
